Per new and old discussions with our users some policies will be made more public soon.

Short version:- No follow bots- No follow friday tagging- More visible block/silence policy (we follow compassion.online's 'The List' with tweaks per user request/input)- New user policy - invite only, 51% approval for those who vote over a 5 day period

Given this instance is something of a 'Quiet place in the woods' for users. We politely ask that you do not tag our users in #FollowFriday posts. If you're not sure, don't tag our users is a good rule of thumb. Some of our users have even gone so far as to add #NoFF to their profiles to be very clear they don't want to be tagged.

We respectfully ask that you honor this policy when it comes to #FollowFriday.

Instances are a necessary part of federation, but it's a technical detail that most users really shouldn't have to care about. If we want decentralized systems to survive, we have to learn to make them as user-friendly as the centralized systems.
